Bruno Mars on tour in support of his debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans
USA - Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Bruno Mars is taking grandMA2 and on the road for his international tour in support of his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. According to lighting designer/operator Cory FitzGerald, almost two trucks full of lights are accompanying Mars.

"We have two grandMA2 full-size running the latest version software - the first time we've taken the grandMA2 on tour," says Fitzgerald. "We're using overhead and double-hung diagonal trusses and have a pretty well-rounded lighting inventory."

FitzGerald has been "working with grandMA for a while" and has teamed with A.C.T "to tweak and get it perfect. It's been a good process - grandMA2 is different from grandMA, and I'm very pleased with it and like where it's going. The macros make things go much faster, I have three times as many playbacks for more flexibility per song or per page, and the console layout is great."

The grandMA2 controls amongst others 20 Clay Paky Sharpy, two Hippos, double-stacked Barco projectors and a large LED wall. Nocturne is the video equipment vendor.
